Sensible Foods Dried Snacks - Review and Giveaway!

"I would take this to the movies instead of buying popcorn". That's what the Mister said after he tried the Sweet Corn flavor of Sensible Foods dried snacks. I didn't believe him. The man is a popcorn freak and one of the biggest challenges for him since beginning The Fitness Project has been going to the movies and resisting the urge to get a giant box of buttered popcorn.

First, the nutrition facts:
I know... how can it be THAT good, with so few ingredients? I don't even know how they do it, but they manage to make this stuff sweet, crunchy, melt in your mouth, buttery... it's really so good.

Sensible Foods sent me a whole box of different varieties to try, as you can see above. By far my favorite was the Sweet Corn, but the Cherry Berry and Tropical Blend were up there, too. These things taste like candy, and I'm not even kidding.

Here's the process, from the Sensible Foods website:

• Proprietary Crunch Dried process is done in a high vacuum at very low temperatures.


• This process removes the water while maintaining the products cell structure, nutritional value, and intensifying its natural flavor.


• Proprietary Process and packaging keeps the product fresh tasting and nutritious for an unbelievable shelf life of over two years.


• No Preservatives of any kind!


• 100% Natural

So obviously, this is a winner in my book. I love the ingredient count, I love the fact that there are no preservatives and that they are all natural. Most of all, I love how delicious they are. I'm mostly a fresh fruit kind of gal for day-to-day fruit and veg intake, but I definitely think Sensible Foods dried snacks are a great option for traveling, as a yogurt or oatmeal topper, or as a mid afternoon snack with a bit of protein, like some almonds or a hard boiled egg. I'm really impressed.

The Sensible Foods website is very informative and user friendly, as well. There is a ton of information about the product, the process, why fruit is good for you. You can place an order online, and there is also a store locator where you can type in your zipcode and find a place near you that sells Sensible Foods.
